The Quaker State 400, set for Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, will be the second race at the revamped track.
Reviews from the QuikTrip 500 in March generally were positive, with drivers citing the excitement of the event and fan experience. William Byron won that race, which featured more than 27 wrecks and 46 lead changes. Byron described it as “mentally and physically taxing,” but it was a hit with fans.
“Atlanta was a pretty fun race,” said Daniel Suarez, who recently became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race. “Very different Atlanta than what we have (had) in the past. … (The track was) different. I think it was a very fun race. I mean, when you’re fast, you have fun all the time. So maybe I’m a little biased. But, yeah, it worked out very good for us (Suarez finished fourth in March).”
